Our approach

Risk-based, using the Bow Tie model

The Bow Tie model shows, on one page, what could cause a major event, the barriers that stop it and the controls that limit the damage if it happens. It helps your team understand threats, control risks and manage consequences.

Bow Tie risk model Threats on the left pass through preventive controls to a central top event, which leads through mitigating controls to consequences on the right. Threat 1 Threat 2 Threat 3 Threat n Preventive controls Mitigating controls Top event Consequence 1 Consequence 2 Consequence 3 Consequence n Before the event After the event
